This is one of the highest producing gold mines in the world, and the highest in Nevada. It is located at the center of a very rich mining area near Crescent Valley, Nevada. This mine operates some of the largest mining equipment in the world, many of wich you will see in this photo. The mine is actually split into two distinct areas, both of which can be seen from this vantage point.

I encourage anyone who views this gigapan to sign up with gigapan.com so that you can leave a comment or take a snapshot of intersting things you find in the photo. I will be taking more photos of this mine site in the coming months, and hope to get the community as excited about these photos as I am.
